Another light week for IJS hatred. Not sure what's going on the last few weeks. You guys can do better than that. We did get a few barbs though. The first was actually e-mailed in from something called an Austin Pothast. Short and sweet:

You guys smell...

He actually submitted that over on the Full-Court Press blog's e-mail form. Not many people have found that link, let alone taken the time to fill it out. It makes me proud that someone took the time to do that just to send something so lame.

Commenter misterc gave us a double-whammy over on this post. First, he gets upset that anyone would dare suggest Rasheed Wallace was a valuable contributor to the Pistons:

Was that a knock on Pistons fans for being aggravated with Sheed's 3 pointers?! If so, you're an idiot!

No player in Detroit sports history mailed in more games than
Rasheed. And yes, every time he stuck his stupid 6'11" frame on the 3
point line instead of going down in the paint where he almost always
had a mismatch, he mailed it in!

And watch the Palace fans give this buffoon a standing ovation when he returns to the Palace and it will be a sad day.

Sergei Federov, a Hall of Famer to be, gets booed mercilessly every time he comes home, and this loser will get cheered!

After pointing out that Rasheed Wallace did statistically do some things pretty well for the Pistons, along with an insinuation that misterc might be the one who dabbles in idiocy, he had this retort:

Hey Pat, learn how to not be so sensitive about articles you didn't
even write! Rasheed was a key part of the championship team. But his
years after that were a freaking joke! His defensive idiocy flat out
cost the team a championship.....yes, an entire NBA Title was lost
because he had no clue that staying with Robert Horrey was the right
defensive play.

The guy is and was an overpaid, selfish child. He deserves credit
for 2004, disdain for anything that came after that as a Piston!

Come on Pat, seriously? Are you related to AI??? You have to be the
only writer in America in Iverson's corner right about now. Maybe he
can go play in Orlando, they need a PG. Let's see if the Magic are
ready to throw their season away.

And, like last week, we have our writers branching out and getting blasted on other sites. First it was Eric Fish, now it's Pardeep Toor, who's first piece on his beloved Raptors for SLAM was brutalized by commenters.

Dude you are a dufus. Just about the only
out-of-place argument that you didn’t make is the Yannick Noah-Euro
link. Journalism has become an amateur sport. Reminds me of back in the
dot com days when the demand for IT people was so high that anyone
could get a job after a year at your local DeVry. And we all know how
that turned out.
I guess it’s the fault of people like everyone in this comments section
(myself included of course) who can’t get enough basketball in their
diet, that these kinds of articles get hits and keep their “authors”
employed.
No offense to you personally, Mr Toor, but professionally I would
recommend to you that you focus on writing less and thinking more of
the message you want to send.

Ha. That commenter will be happy to know Pardeep was paid $0 for that post. Till next week, haters.
